know you're tired of it, d_m, but here's another for the AoU crowd

[suchajerk]

Knew you missed me.

[Smug little shit that he is, look at that smirk on his face right now. Yep, there it is.]

Now, stop whining over how you wanted to play with the Anti-Coulson and get back to me. You know you won't have time for anything else once this ball gets rolling, honey.

This was probably a guaranteed outcome once she walked into the theater, wasn't it?

[suchajerk]

You have to ask?

[sonofcoul]

Knowing your mun as well as I do? No, not really.

[suchajerk]

Then don't ask.

[sonofcoul]

Fine, then. Consider the question retracted.

[suchajerk]

Good man.

[Speaking of which.]

Keeping out of trouble?

[sonofcoul]

I suppose it depends on how high a threshold you have for 'trouble'.

But no, not really.

[suchajerk]

Those "Enhanced" people can be a real pain in the ass, can't they?

[sonofcoul]

Garden-variety humans can be a real pain in the ass too, really. Don't see why those with powers would fall on a different spectrum.

[suchajerk]

I'd say they fall a bit higher on the spectrum. Scratch that, way higher on the spectrum.

[sonofcoul]

I will grant that the ones that are a pain are usually a bit more of a pain than the rest of us, but those that aren't are also usually more helpful, so it comes out in the wash.

[suchajerk]

[You ruin everything. Stop spoiling the fun.]

Where do you come up with these sorts of things? Seriously, stop trying so hard.

[sonofcoul]

I'm just saying that it maps pretty closely to the pain-in-the-ass spectrum for rich guys.

[suchajerk]

[That gets an actual smirk out of him.]

Yeah? And do 'rich guys' get an index of their own? If so, it better be pretty exclusive.

[sonofcoul]

Isn't it called the Forbes 500?

[suchajerk]

It's lonely when you're at the top, you know. They got that right.

[That would be fake theatrics, you know him.]

[sonofcoul]

I'm sure it keeps you up at night.

[suchajerk]

No that would be someone else.

[tadashiwashere]

[Tadashi is not tired of it. He's been increasingly intrigued about all of the new faces!

Look at him! He's impressed!]

Mr. Stark, I've heard a lot about your work with AIs and robotics. It's unbelievable what you've been able to accomplish. I just wanted to tell you that you're an inspiration.

[sonofcoul]

I walked into that one.

[suchajerk]

Yeah, ya did.

[suchajerk]

Yep. Glad to inspire. Keep on keeping on, kid. Pen? Paper? Object? [He mimes signing an autograph--that's what you want from him, right? Right.]

[debts]

[ Dryly: ]

Congratulations.

[ Yay, reunions. ]

[sonofcoul]

Should have known better but I guess I've gotten a little rusty.

[tadashiwashere]

Object? What...

[Oh. Autograph. Yeah. He should probably get that while he's here. What does he have on him? His student ID? If that too weird? That's too weird. What else? Robotics textbook. Seems appropriate. He's offering that and a pen he dug out of his bag.]

Actually, I did have a question. Have you considered being more proactive in the medical field? There's a lot your tech could do there beyond what you already contribute. I'm working on a healthcare companion for my robotics project, but if it works I don't have the means to make it available as widely as it would need to be to really make a difference.
